Hi /lit/, never read tolstoy and was wondering what english translator you guys recommend.

P&V
Maude, especially in revised form.
They knew Tolstoy, and Tolstoy said they were the best translators an author could ask for.
Maudes or Garnett.
P&V are the only option for Russian lit. Anything else is wrong and for pseuds.

Marian Schwartz' Anna Karenina is incredible. Much better than P&V. Those are the two I've actually read. Maudes is good too, but based on what I've seen Schwartz is much better. She is the only one who really captures Tolstoy's style.
Maude for W&P and Marian Swartz for Anna Karenina. All other works: Maude.
P&V!
